This is a hard-hitting and timely read at a moment of intense educational change that affects all children - including those with special educational needs and disabilities. Jarlath pulls no punches when he sets out the current situation and future prospects for the most vulnerable young people in our society and demands change from policy makers, school leaders and local authorities.
This book is well-researched, and full of real examples that give meat to the bones of a disturbing story that challenges us in the way that we as a society treat our weakest members and their families.
Everyone who has an interest in education, particularly school leaders and policy makers, should read this book - because a good education, one that prepares young people for adult life, belongs to all our children.
